Feature request : Getting attrs ?

[yellowbean]

Great work on this library , I think it is the missing pieces I am looking for an intuitive library walking over xml .

I'm wondering that any chance that the library will support getting attributes of a node ?

thanks for the feedback.

xml-in works similar to get-in where it is hunting after the value (i.e. :content in case of XML). the thing with XML is: it is nested. following just the :content allows to dive in to the depth of its structure. carrying attributes along adds complexity, hence I am trying to avoid it.

however it does not prevent you to apply "finishing touches" to the data it returns:

(->> (xml/find-all universe [:universe :system :solar])
                            (filter :attrs))

returns all the elements with attributes:

({:tag :planet,
  :attrs {:age "4.543", :inhabitable "true"},
  :content ("Earth")}
 {:tag :planet,
  :attrs {:age "4.503"},
  :content ("Mars")})

let me know if it helps

Thank you for this library.

Anyways, I wanted to show a use case for this feature. Here's the gist.
Right now I have a function called elem->maps that grabs out attributes given a key to look it up.

This is pretty jank, so I'd love to see a cleaner way of doing this.
